    More than a festival, Girona is a family. It was an honor to have my film’s European premiere here and receive honorable mention. The community aspect of this place blew my mind; everyone is approachable, everyone is your friend. As the land of Dali, it’s an understatement to say this experience was nothing but surrealist!
